Fireflies Illuminate North Charleston: Firefly Distillery Marks 20 Years with Anniversary Celebration

-

The Firefly Distillery, known for pioneering Sweet Tea Vodka, is gearing up to mark its 20th year next month. This significant occasion on April 19 will commemorate the distillery’s origins tied to sweet tea through various activities including live performances, mixology contests, and discounted beverages from midday until early evening.

Scott Newitt, who co-founded Firefly Distillery, looked back on their journey.

I don’t believe either Jim or I fully grasped where the concept of Sweet Tea Vodka might lead when we first started out. However, two decades down the line, it’s truly remarkable to revisit those early days and realize just how much ground we’ve covered and what an empire we have established together. It all commenced as one simple offering yet blossomed into a quintessential Southern icon—a place both residents and tourists frequent—and grew into a clan that keeps getting bigger,” Newitt stated. “On this milestone 20-year mark, we feel thrilled not only to reminisce about our path but also to rejoice alongside the audience who stood by us throughout these years.”

Established in 2005 by Newitt and Jim Irvin, Firefly Distillery launched the globe’s premier Sweet Tea Vodka in 2008. Throughout the years, the distillery has rolled out 39 innovative items, grown its premises, and held various gatherings such as 31 FIREFLY LIVE concerts.

The anniversary bash will include performances by Derek Cribb, food truck offerings, a barrel ring toss game, and a Sweet Tea Cocktail Challenge. Guests can take advantage of 20% off tasting sessions and buy $20 bottles of Sweet Tea Vodka for just this special day.

The Firefly Distillery, situated at 4201 Spruill Avenue, invites visitors from Tuesday to Saturday, featuring longer hours on Fridays.

Paradise Islands Offer Citizenship for Less Than £36,000

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
